Time Will Tell In Hinterwald

The murder may be solved, but Hinterwald does not relax. It recalibrates.
When a historic clock disappears from the village church and a respected resident turns up dead days later, Clara is pulled back into an investigation no one wants official attention on. The timing is wrong. The grief is rehearsed. And the lies arrive too evenly spaced to be accidental.
As Clara sharpens her control over her ability, she begins to understand what her aunt truly did for this town. Not fixing clocks. Fixing outcomes.
Jonah Brandner, the local detective, listens more closely now. Trust exists, but it is conditional, and both of them know it.
The deeper Clara looks, the clearer it becomes that Hinterwald’s past is not buried. It is maintained.
